Excellent apartment. We stayed two nights and it was very relaxing. View over the petrol station is the only knock but really not an issue. It’s proximity to beach and main shops in Apollo Bay are a big plus.

Lovely stay

We stayed in the two bedroom penthouse apartment. The apartment was large and beautiful with a view of the ocean. Comfortable sofas and beds. We only stayed one night but it would have been nice to have stayed longer.

Nice apartment

The location of the apartment is very good, with the beach across the road and very close to the shopping center, a 5-minute walk. The service staff is very friendly and willing to help you with all your questions. I will stay here again next time I go to Apollo Bay.

Great hotel/apartment stay in the Apollo Bay

The four of us loved our stay at the Dolphin Apartments! The penthouse hotel room/apartment hybrid was clean and spacious, and the balcony had a nice view of the ocean. The kitchen had all the amenities to make some home cooked meals. Contactless check in after staffed hours was easy. We would definitely come back!

The apartment was lovely and clean. It was a very good size and had excellent amenities. The only thing that disappointed us was it appeared the rooms all had a view from the advertising but ours was at the bottom with a staff workroom in front of it. No view at all or balcony.

Great location directly opposite the beach but unfortunately view is of the petrol station. Fitness centre is a 7 minute walk away not on-site. Apartment was comfortable and clean, apart from the random sock left under the coffee table. Kitchen well equipped but unfortunately the dishwasher was not working

The didnt like's: Tight corner to access 'overflow parking', when there should not have been any overflow. This mostly caused by lack of signed allocation to appartment numbers. For those who enjoy fresh air IN the appartment 24/7 or less (myself included) this isnt the place for you. No fly-wire doors and NO fly-screens on windows...Needs to be addressed
